I'm looking for a CMS. My own development attempts have foundered on the twin reefs of lack of time and scalability (mainly database problems).
I'm not asking for much. All I want is:
PHP, Perl or Python, I don't really care. Even Java will be considered.
- Unlimited blogs, forums, wikis and portals feeding from a common pool of articles and comments. That is, a post can appear on a blog and a forum and a wiki, with its comments and other details intact.
- Sub-sites with their own domains - and their own layouts
- Group-based permissions
- Semantic markup
- RSS feeds
- Page, block and template based site construction
- In-line and out-of-line editing
- A few nice clean themes to start with
- Absolutely no PHP or SQL coding required of - or indeed available to - regular users
- Plugin / module architecture
- Web services API
- Runs on Linux
- Doesn't cost more than US$2000 (Free is good. Open source is better.)
- Fully integrated and self-contained. I don't need a choice of three different blog modules, each using a different commenting system.
- An application, not a service.
- No usage restrictions. None of this "you can't run a hosting service" stuff.
- Background processing for big tasks like spam removal.
- Scales to thousands of sites.
Any ideas?
I have a list of nice-to-haves, but it's kind of long. I'll post that later.

But also:

Most of the open-source CMS I know are very big on modularity, and none of them match all your criteria. You might want to try a commercial alternative, although it is slightly more than $2000. :)
